However, Xi Heng knew that the Celestial Venerable Zhi Cang actually had no ability to save the world.

Only decades later, he attempted to refine his own realm along with the calamity.

Whether it was a success or a failure remains unknown.

In short, it turned into a giant bomb that crashed into the Jingtian Realm, bringing annihilation to the entire Jingtian Central Continent.

As a result, even the immortal was injured and weakened, and it was unlikely that he would be seen again.

"It probably failed."

"If he had succeeded in refining it, he wouldn't have gone so mad as to seek out a half-immortal in the Scripture Heaven Realm to self-destruct..."

After all, no matter how deep the hatred and old grudges were, that half-immortal had already lost himself.

Going to risk your life and bombing a mindless, living corpse again is hardly a form of revenge.

The Celestial Venerable of that incarnation was likely infected by the calamity during the refining process, causing his heart to be filled with calamity and desire. Therefore, he went directly to the largest realm of the Heavenly Realm to create destruction.

"And if nothing unexpected happens in this life, he should become a powerful calamity again to bombard the Heavenly Realm more than 240 years after the save file is loaded."

"Perhaps we should stop it."

The white-haired girl silently made up her mind.

If, decades later, there had been no event of the Celestial Venerable of the Azure Sky refining the calamity, the Half-Immortal would not have suffered such a severe blow.

As long as the Half-Immortal retains his power, the Heavenly Realm will continue to exist... at least, it can resist for a longer period of time.

In that case, perhaps the central region of the void wouldn't have fallen so quickly.

As long as the refinement of the Imaginary Celestial is stopped, a series of seemingly positive butterfly effects will be generated.

Although it is equally difficult to reverse the ultimate outcome of the Void's demise, it should be possible to prolong its life for a while longer.

This also gives her more time to become an even more powerful Void Calamity.

If the delay is long enough, her true form might be able to advance to the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm in this world... or even higher.

"But how should we proceed?"

"Persuasion is probably hopeless. With my cultivation level, I can't possibly persuade a great cultivator above the Dao Integration Realm. The other party has been preparing for so many years, and even the vast Imaginary Realm was created for this plan, so they are bound to be stubborn."

It will be extremely difficult to get them to change their minds.

"Then, perhaps a certain condition is missing, making it difficult for that being in the Imaginary Realm to refine it."

"For example, reducing the number of disasters, or directly influencing the imaginary realm itself..."

"..."

A moment later, Xi Heng decided to take action against the disaster.

This aligns with the greater good, and coupled with her prestige as the leader of the Pure Fire Sect, she has the opportunity to attract the assistance of other great cultivators.

The only remaining question is that, as one of the last natural disasters to appear, the location of the main body of this calamity in the void is still unknown.

Xi Heng then urged his avatar to return to the void, board the flying boat, and use magic and observation tools to continue the investigation.

Five years have passed in this way.

It wasn't until 225 years after the save file was loaded that the dark blue light of the main body of the disaster could finally be seen in a corner of the void.

Upon closer inspection, its size and appearance were quite ordinary.

If we compare the size of other calamities to that of ordinary planets, this dark blue light, still brewing at the edge of the void and not yet truly awakened, is merely equivalent to the surrounding satellites.

It was even smaller than the calamities she controlled.

"Judging by its size alone, I'm afraid we only need to send the calamity here to swallow it up," she thought.

However, the nature of this calamity is quite different from other destructive or transformative disasters; its impact is more inward and spiritual.

When faced with disaster, one should not use the methods of attrition and consumption commonly used when facing other calamities. Instead, one should place and concentrate one's energy on the spiritual aspect, releasing the nature of the calamity itself that causes the spirit to perish.

Those who have never been trained in such a way may be caught off guard if they suddenly encounter a complete disaster.

Therefore... we should choose some simpler methods.

Xi Heng slowly steered his flying boat closer to the edge of the disaster area.

He cast a spell from afar, sending out a pale golden light that shot straight through the distant void like an arrow.

The golden light flashed for a thousand miles in an instant, then disappeared into the calamity.

Through the influence of the golden light, she glimpsed a small part of the nature of the calamity before her.

"The fluctuations in the power of calamity are not high, and the frequency is much slower than other calamities that are currently erupting." She muttered to herself, "If other calamities are running, then this one is sleeping."

After several more tests, the disaster also showed certain activity characteristics.

This sense of movement changes as Xi Heng approaches and the intensity of spiritual energy fluctuations.

The closer they are, the more active they become.

"One should not get too close to cultivators... otherwise there will be some danger."

Xi Heng originally intended to invite Dao-Merging cultivators from various realms to come here together to inscribe the ancient Calamity-Crossing Array and seal the calamity on the spot.

Although the disaster is currently dormant, there are still risks in its vicinity. Other cultivators who have reached the Dao may be worried about this and will not come to help just because she raises her arm.

She was unable to organize the sealing ceremony, nor could she guarantee the safety of the cultivators who came here.

However, there are other people in the world who can do both.

Another figure gradually emerged in her mind—it was Yueyi, the Dao-Merging expert of the Jade Toad Realm.

"As long as we can persuade her, we can still achieve our goal."

Xi Heng nodded slightly, leaving a white crystal-like spatial node in place, and then transformed into white flames to return to his spatial transfer station.

Wandering through the massive building, they soon arrived at the gate of a side hall that connected to the Jade Toad Realm.

Stepping across the threshold, the space transforms.

In just a short while, they arrived at a spacious guest room in the main city of the Jade Toad Realm.

Xi Heng left the residence, walked down the stairs, and entered the crowds on the street.

At this moment, it is night in the Jade Toad Realm. Looking ahead, one can see a bright moon hanging high in the sky, emitting a cool and clear light.

Beneath the moon, a palace faintly emerges, outlined by the moonlight, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.

A faint light surrounded the towering white pearl, the steps were formed by flowing moonlight, the walls undulated and emitted a halo, and inside were layers of exquisite and unique pavilions and towers.

Xi Heng didn't look closely; he simply flashed and teleported directly into the palace.

Then, they walked along the quiet, dimly lit paths within the palace grounds towards the central hall.

Before she even arrived, Yueyi saw her first, casting moonlight that revealed her as a delicate woman in a pink dress and red skirt.

"You came here specifically to find me?" She raised her long sleeves, embroidered with white lace, and gestured.

For some reason, in every lifetime, Yueyi's attitude towards her was always quite good.

Perhaps this is true for everyone...

Xi Heng's mind flickered with thoughts, then he nodded in response:

"I have discovered a new calamity in the void, which is still brewing and has not yet awakened. Perhaps we can concentrate our power to seal it first. I hope you can help me."

"Another one of those not-so-interesting serious matters."

The other person gently shook their head, their loose, straight black hair swaying slightly in front of and behind them.

He clasped his hands together with his long sleeves, adopting a dignified posture before continuing the conversation: "What kind of disaster is it?"

Xi Heng then explained the nature of the disaster he had discovered, clearly stating its unique characteristics.

"Hmm...then take this clone of mine to take a look."

The white-haired girl readily agreed, raising her hand to open a white flame portal connecting to a spatial node at the edge of the distant void, and stepped in with Yueyi.

In the blink of an eye, the scene changed from the exquisite and elegant moon palace to the dim void outside the realm.

At the front end, a dense, dark blue light gathered, forming a chaotic and strange mass of calamity.

It doesn't look very big from a distance, but as you get closer, you can feel a strong sense of threat from the bottom of your heart.

Yueyi frowned slightly and her figure drifted away.

It appears slow, but it actually moves at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few seconds, it arrived beside the disaster and flicked its finger to send drops of moonlight that swirled around the calamity several times.

When the moonlight faded, he nodded slightly, turned around, and said to the white-haired girl who had approached him:

“What you say is correct. Such a calamity is too unusual to be allowed to continue. It should be dealt with as soon as possible before it can manifest itself.”

Xi Heng continued, "I would like to ask you to gather other Dao-Merging cultivators here to set up a Great Array for overcoming calamities, so that it can be sealed for at least a hundred years."

“It only takes the two of us; there’s no need to involve the masses,” Yueyi said.

"Just the two of us... Wouldn't it take too long to set up such a large formation?" Xi Heng blinked and said, "My power of time cannot accelerate such a large area."

The other person simply yawned, covering their lips with their long sleeve, and briefly stated:

"No problem. You only need to inscribe a delicate and small complete formation here, and I will expand it to cover the calamity itself."

"Directly expand?" Xi Heng blinked.

Although she had used spiritual light to expand her spatial transfer station, she had never heard of a complete array constructed with spiritual power that could be directly expanded and grown.

Theoretically, it's simply impossible to do that.

After all, array patterns and nodes have a fixed foundation from the very beginning of their construction. If spiritual power is injected to forcibly expand them, they are very likely to be torn apart on the spot, and their functions will also be broken and stripped away.

"Mm." Yueyi simply nodded.

It seems that this kind of behavior is quite ordinary and simple for her.

The white-haired girl couldn't help but ask an extra question: "Is it unnecessary to worry about the stability of the nodes, the resilience of the array patterns, and the efficiency of the spiritual light transmission?"

Generally speaking, using a giant formation like the Tribulation Crossing Formation, which stands in the void, requires many cultivators of sufficient rank to diligently maintain the stability of the formation points.

Some sophisticated formations can be greatly weakened if a single mistake is made.

Therefore, in Xi Heng's mind, to resolve the current catastrophe, one must either use one's own death to gather all one's strength and try to extinguish it with brute force.

Alternatively, one could invite numerous cultivators to jointly construct the formation, stabilize the nodes, and gradually activate it.

Unexpectedly, Yueyi stopped the suggestion immediately and suggested another approach.

"No need." The other party chuckled and continued to speak to Xi Heng:

"It seems you don't know much about ancient matters. Have you never heard of my being in harmony with the Way of Heaven?"

"Hmm... Could it be... related to the Heavenly Dao of size?"

Xi Heng recalled his previous life upon hearing this.

At that time, Yueyi used a secret method to shrink the entire Jade Toad Realm to an extremely small size, thereby avoiding the perception of the calamity and continuing to exist in the void.

"It's about profit and loss."

Yueyi flicked her finger, using her spiritual light to create a scene of the moon's phases in front of her:

"However, size does have some relation to things. In short, I can make things full and large without losing their small nature."

"Profit and loss..."

Xi Heng always felt that this way of heaven was really hard to understand, and he didn't know how it was used in practice.

Compared to such obscure terms, her own concept of the Way of Time is more intuitive.

The power of the Heavenly Dao that she possesses is merely the ability to accelerate, slow down, reverse, and jump time—something anyone who has read a few science fiction novels can roughly understand.

The other party waved his hand to bring Xi Heng back to his senses: "No need to think anymore, let's get down to business."

"it is good."

Xi Heng obeyed, then recalled the formation of the Void Crossing Tribulation Array.

Then, raising his finger, he used his spiritual light to draw a delicate and fluid three-dimensional picture in the void before his eyes.

The figure drifted and roamed like a ghost, drawing lines here and forming circles there.

The entire formation began to take shape under her hands, like a 3D printed template, slowly spreading out from the bottom up.
